FOR SAFETY
Extend the antenna to its
full length.
If the antenna is
collapsed, the ef-
fective range of
the radiowaves
will become
shorter.
Always test the digital proportional R/C
set before use.
Any abnormality in the digital proportional R/C set,
or model, may cause a crash.
*Before starting the engine, check that the
direction of operation of each servo matches
the operation of its control stick. If a servo
does not move in the proper direction, or op-
eration is abnormal, do not fly the plane.
Check that the transmitter antenna is not loose.
If the transmitter antenna comes off during use, control will be
lost and the model will crash.
Extend to
full length
Test
(In case of a set w/ frequency board)
Do not touch the engine, motor, and speed control
during and immediately after use.
They are hot and will cause a burn.
When turning on the power switch
After setting the transmitter throttle lever to
maximum slow,
1. Turn on the transmitter power switch,
2. Then turn on the receiver power switch.
When turning off the power switch
After stopping the engine,
1. Turn off the receiver power switch,
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If the power switch is turned
off in the opposite order, the
engine may go to full throttle
unexpectedly and cause an
injury.
*Maximum slow: Direction in which
the engine or motor runs at the slow-
est speed.
When adjusting the digital
proportional R/C set, al-
ways stop the engine, ex-
cept when necessary.
If the engine suddenly goes to high
speed, it may cause an injury.
When flying, always in-
stall the frequency board

FOR SAFETY
(If using a Ni-cd battery)
NI-CD BATTERY CHARGING PRECAUTIONS
Always charge the nicd
battery before each flight.
If the battery goes dead during
flight, the plane may crash.
Charge the digital proportional R/C nicd
battery with the special charger, or digi-
tal proportional R/C quick charger, sold
separately.
Overcharging may cause burns,
fire, injury, blindness, etc. due to
overheating, breakage, electro-
lyte leakage, etc.
Use the
special charger
Shock
prohibited
Use
prohibited
Penlight
nicd battery
Do not use commercial nicd penlight
batteries.
During quick charging, the bat-
tery holder contacts may over-
heat and damage the equip-
ment, or prevent charging.
Do not short the nicd battery connec-
tor terminals.
Shorting the terminals may cause sparking and
overheating and result in burns or fire.
Do not drop or apply strong
shock to nicd battery.
The battery may be shorted and cause
overheating or breakage and electro-
lyte leakage and result in burns or
damage by chemical mater.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not leave the digital proportional R/C set, battery, model airplane, etc.
within the reach of small children.
Touching and operating the digital proportional R/C set, or licking the battery, may cause
injury or damage due to chemical matter.
Do not throw the nicd battery into a fire or heat the nicd battery. Also, do
not disassemble or rebuild the nicd battery. (If using a Nicd battery)
Breakage, overheating, and electrolyte leakage may cause injury, burns, or blindness.
5
FOR SAFETY
When not flying the model, store the digital proportional R/C set with the
nicd battery in the discharged state. Recharge the nicd battery before the
next flight. (If using a Nicd battery)
If a partially discharged nicd battery is recharged many times, its memory effect will reduce
the flight time substantially and may cause a crash, even if the battery is recharged.
Nicd battery recycling
Used nicd batteries are an important resource. Stick tape over the terminals and take the used batteries
to a nicd battery recycling center. (If using a Nicd battery)
Do not store the digital proportional R/C
set in the following places:
-Where it is very hot (40C/104F or more) or very
cold (-10C/-14F or less).
-Where the set will be exposed to direct sunlight.
-Where the humidity is high.
-Where there is strong vibration.
-Where it is dusty.
-Where there is steam and heat.
Storing the digital proportional R/C set in the places
above may cause distortion and trouble.
If the digital proportional
R/C set will not be used
for a long time, remove
the batteries from the
transmitter and the
model and store them in
a dry place.
If the batteries are left in the trans-
mitter and model, the battery elec-
trolyte may leak out and degrade
the performance and shorten the
life of the transmitter and model.
Nicd battery electrolyte
The electrolyte in the nicd battery is a strong alkali and can cause blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you
get the electrolyte in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with water and see a doctor. If you get the
electrolyte on your skin or clothes, it may cause a burn. Immediately wash it off with water. (If using
a Nicd battery)
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not get fuel, waste oil,
etc. on plastic parts.
The plastic may melt and fail to
function.
Always use Genuine Futaba transmit-
ter, receiver, servos, FET amp, nicd
battery, and other optional parts.
Futaba is not responsible for damage, etc. caused
by the use of parts other than Genuine Futaba
parts. Use the parts de-
scribed in the instruction
manual and catalogs.

BEFORE USE
Before making any adjustments, learn the operation of the transmitter and the move-
ment of each servo.
CHANNEL 1
RUDDER OPERATION
When the rudder stick is moved to the right, the rudder moves to the right and
the nose points to the right, relative to the direction of flight. When the rudder
stick is moved to the left, the rudder moves to the left and the nose points to
the left and the direction of travel of the plane changes.
AILERON OPERATION
When the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right aileron is raised and the
left aileron is lowered, relative to the direction of flight, and the plane turns to
the right. When the aileron stick is moved to the left, the ailerons move in the
opposite direction.
To level the plane, the aileron stick must be moved in the opposite direction.
When the aileron stick is tilted and held, the plane will roll.
CHANNEL 2
ELEVATOR OPERATION
When the elevator stick is pulled back, the tail elevator is raised and the tail of
the plane is forced down, the air flow applied to the wings is changed, the
lifting force is increased, and the plane climbs (UP operation). When the
elevator stick is pushed forward, the elevator is lowered, the tail of the plane is
forced up, the air flow applied to the wings is changed, the lifting force is
decreased, and the plane dives (DOWN operation).
CHANNEL 3 (only T3FR)
THROTTLE/FLAP/SPOILER OPERATION
The channel 3 can be used for engine control, electronic speed control, flap, or
spoilers.
When the throttle lever is pulled back (low side), the motor is stopped. When
the throttle lever is pushed forward (high side), the motor turns.
Adaptation for some speed controls so that the direction of
operation is opposite (i.e. MC114, MC117):
•Request the adaptation to the Futaba Service Center.

INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
This section describes the installation method and adjustment method after installa-
tion when installing the receiver, servos, etc. to the plane.
CONNECTIONS
Connection example is shown below.
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
11
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
CONNECTOR CONNECTION
Insert the receiver, servo, and
battery connectors fully and
firmly.
If vibration, etc. causes a connector to
work loose during flight, the plane may
crash.
RECEIVER VIBRATIONPROOFING
/ WATERPROOFING
Vibrationproof the receiver by
wrapping it in sponge rubber or
some such material. If the re-
ceiver may get wet, waterproof
it by placing it in a plastic bag.
If the receiver is subjected to strong vibra-
tion and shock, or gets wet, it may operate
erroneously and cause a crash.
RECEIVER ANTENNA
Do not cut or bundle the re-
ceiver antenna. Also, do not
bundle the antenna together
with the servo lead wires.
Cutting or bundling the receiver antenna
will lower the receiver sensitivity and
shorten the flight range and cause a crash.
<Antenna installation>
For aircraft, attach the antenna to the top of
the tail.
SERVO THROW
Operate each servo horn over
its full stroke and adjust so that
the pushrod does not bind or is
not too loose.
Unreasonable force applied to the servo
horn will adversely affect the servo and
drain the battery quickly.
SERVO INSTALLATION
Install the servos to the servo
mount, etc. through a rubber
grommet. Also install the servos
so that the servo case does not
directly touch the servo mount
or other parts of the fuselage.
POWER SWITCH INSTALLATION
When installing a receiver power switch to
the fuselage, cut a rectangular hole some-
what larger than the full stroke of the switch
knob and install the switch so it moves
smoothly from ON to OFF.
Also install the switch where it will not
come into direct contact with engine oil,
dust, etc. Generally, install the switch to
the fuselage at the side opposite the muf-
fler exhaust.
12
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENTS
The operating direction, neutral position, and steering angle of each servo are
adjusted.
The basic linkage and adjustments of the fuselage conform to the fuse-
lage design drawings and kit instruction manual. Be sure that the center
of gravity is at the prescribed position.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Before making any ad-
justments, set the chan-
nel 1 and 2 Servo Re-
versing switches and
MIX switch on the front of the transmit-
ter to the lower (NOR/OFF) position.
However, when using the V-tail or
Elevon mixing, set the MIX switch to
the upper (ON) position.
Turn on the transmitter and receiver
power switches and make the following
adjustments:
1 Check the direction of operation
of each servo.
If a servo operates in the wrong direction,
switch its Servo Reversing switch. (The
direction of operation can be changed
without changing the linkage.)
*Note that the direction of the aileron, V-
ail, or Elevon servo is easily mistaken.
(Page 9)
2 Check the rudder/aileron and el-
evator neutral adjustment and
left-right (up-down) throw.
Check that when trimmed to the center,
the servo horn is perpendicular to the
servo and check the neutral position of
the fuselage control surfaces (rudder/ai-
leron, elevator, etc.). If the neutral posi-
tion has changed, reset it by adjusting
the length of the rod with the linkage rod
adjuster.
When the throw is unsuitable (different
from steering angle specified by the kit
instruction manual), adjust it by changing
the servo horn and each control surface
horn rod .
3 If necessary,
•Adjust the speed control in accor-
dance with its instruction manual.
•Check the flap or spoiler linkage.
4 After all the linkages have been
connected, recheck the operating
direction, throw, etc.
*Before flight, adjust the aircraft in accor-
dance with the kit instruction manuals.
5 Fly the plane and trim each servo.
13
USING OTHER FUNCTIONS
NON-SLIP ADJUSTABLE LEVER HEAD
The length of the stick lever head can be adjusted.
1 Unlock lever heads A and B by turning
them in the arrow directions.
2 Set the stick to the most
comfortable length and lock
the lever heads by turning
them in the opposite direc-
tion of the arrows.
USING OTHER FUNCTIONS
CHARGING THE NI-CD BATTERY
(If using a Ni-cd battery)
Never plug the special
charger into an AC outlet

REFERENCE
GLOSSARY
The following defines the symbols and terms used in this instruction manual.
Aileron
Control surface at the left and right sides of
the main wing of an aircraft. It usually con-
trols turning of the aircraft.
Channel
Represents the number of control systems.
It can also represent the number of servos
that are operated.
Down
Means down elevator. It is the direction in
which the trailing edge of the elevator is
pointing down.
Elevator
Control surface that moves up and down on
the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft. It usu-
ally controls up and down.
Linkage
Mechanism that connects the servos and the
fuselage control surfaces.
MIX
Means the mixing function. V-tail mixing,
Elevon mixing, etc..
Modulation method
Two modulation methods are used with ra-
dio control: AM (Amplitude Modulation) and
FM (Frequency Modulation). Another
method that encodes and transmits the
modulated signals is called "PCM".
Neutral
Means the neutral position. It is the state in
which a transmitter stick returns to the center
when not operated.
Normal (NOR)
For the servo reversing function, it is the nor-
mal side. The opposite side is the reverse
side.
Proportional
Because today's radio control sets control
servos in proportion to stick operation, radio
control equipment is called proportional.
Reverse (REV)
With the servo reversing function, this is
used to mean the reverse side. The opposite
side is the normal side.
Rod
A bar that connects the servos and the fuse-
lage control surfaces.
Rudder
Tail control surface that controls the direc-
tion of the aircraft.
Servo horn
A part that is installed to the shaft of a servo
and changes the rotating motion of the servo
to linear motion and transmits the linear mo-
tion to a rod. Servo horns come in various
shapes.
Servo mount
Fuselage base for installing a servo to the
fuselage.
Stick
Rod for operating the transmitter.
Throttle
Part that controls the air mixture at the en-
gine intake. When opened (throttle high
side), a large air mixture is sucked in and the
engine speed increases. When closed
(throttle low side), the engine speed de-
creases.
Trim
A device that fine adjusts the neutral point of
each servo for safe flying. It is a mechanism
that corrects bad tendencies of the aircraft.
Up
Means up elevator. Direction in which the
trailing edge of the elevator is pointing up.
